CAULIFLOWER. — Continued. 
No. 
398 Snowball. — This is an old, well-known variety which we can 
strongly recommend to the American gardener. It is valuable 
for forcing under glass for a winter crop, and equally valuable 
for outdoor work, and consequently much esteemed by both 
private and market grower's. It has a compact, upright habit, 
and forms fine white, hard heads. Sow under glass in February, 
transplant after frost for cutting in June, or sow out of doors 
in the third week in May and transplant in July.

A giant Cauliflower for outdoor work, coming in midway between 
Carters Forerunner and Carters Autumn Giant. The Royal 
Horticultural Society’s report reads: — "Carters Early Emperor. 
— Plants dwarf, sturdy, with semi-protecting foliage; heads 
medium to large in size, firm, and of excellent shape.”

protected by the leaves; one of the best for soils of a heavy or 
retentive nature.

the Erfurt Cauliflower; almost as early as the Snowball, producing 
very solid, pure white heads of the very finest quality; seldom 
fails to form a good sized head.

424 Carters Solid Ivory. -One of the most remarkable features 
of Carters Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact habit 
and beautiful white colour. If the heads are tied with a little 
rough matting, the same as with Cos Lettuces, it will assist not 
only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to exclude super- 
abundant moisture. We have records of no less than 411 First 
Prizes awarded this variety during the past few seasons in open 
competition.
